DD's sleep, never brilliant, has descended into chaos. We had a particular low on Tuesday night, when I got 2 hrs sleep.
In desperation we tried putting her in her own room the next night. But she cried for 2 hours.
Then we discovered that she'll go 9-5 between feeds if she sleeps next to me on the bed. But she's so fidgity 5hat this only works if I pin her down hold her hands. So I've done that for the last two nights and got 4 hours sleep.
She wont nap for any length of time in the day, either. She's too fidgity and wakes herself up. Her deep sleep only lasts 5-10 mins.
I've tried leaving her with my DH and sleeping in a different room but I can't sleep - I can't seem to stop listening out for her.
Please tell me that this is a phase that passes. Is it normal to only be getting 2 hours sleep a night?
I feel like I'm starting to lose it.
